Hello,

I am sending an email based on the field data displayed in the current form window. A problem I am running into is that there is a subform within the current form and I am wanting to pull the information from that form into the email as well. The subform data = 2 fields (DateCreated) (Note) for each date... they are notes about the job. See attached phot for layout.

Any help is appreciated.

How are ya hvns . . .

Here's a function that returns all notes for the current [blue]UFC Quote[/blue]. Copy/paste the function to the code module of the main form:
Code: 
[blue]Public Function usrNotes() As String
   Dim sfrm As Form, rst As DAO.Recordset, Build As String
   Dim SL As String, DL As String

   Set sfrm = Forms![MainformName]![subFormName].Form
   Set rst = sfrm.RecordsetClone
   SL = vbNewLine 'Next Line
   DL = SL & SL 'Line Space!
   
   If Not rst.BOF Then
      Do Until rst.EOF
         If Build <> "" Then
            Build = Build & DL & "Note: " & rst!Date & SL & "   " & rst!Notes
         Else
            Build = "Note: " & rst!Date & SL & "   " & rst!Notes
         End If
      Loop
   End If
   
   usrNotes = Build

End Function[/blue]
How you use it is up to you!

Woops! [blush] . . .

Forgot one important line:
Code: 
[blue]Public Function usrNotes() As String
   Dim sfrm As Form, rst As DAO.Recordset, Build As String
   Dim SL As String, DL As String

   Set sfrm = Forms![MainformName]![subFormName].Form
   Set rst = sfrm.RecordsetClone
   SL = vbNewLine 'Next Line
   DL = SL & SL 'Line Space!
   
   If Not rst.BOF Then
      Do Until rst.EOF
         If Build <> "" Then
            Build = Build & DL & "Note: " & rst!Date & SL & "   " & rst!Notes
         Else
            Build = "Note: " & rst!Date & SL & "   " & rst!Notes
         End If
         
         [purple]rst.MoveNext[/purple]
      Loop
   End If
   
   usrNotes = Build

End Function[/blue]

See Ya! . . . . . .

First of all - Thank you for assisting...

I have edited the code to pull the actual names / fields but I am getting a message: "Microsoft Accesscan't find the field 'frmQuote_Notes' referred to in your expression


CODE:

Public Function usrNotes() As String
Dim sfrm As Form, rst As DAO.Recordset, Build As String
Dim SL As String, DL As String

Set sfrm = Forms![frm_QuoteEntry1]![frmQuote_Notes].Form
Set rst = sfrm.RecordsetClone
SL = vbNewLine 'Next Line
DL = SL & SL 'Line Space!

If Not rst.BOF Then
Do Until rst.EOF
If Build <> "" Then
Build = Build & DL & "Notes: " & rst!Date_Reviewed & SL & " " & rst!Quote_Notes
Else
Build = "Note: " & rst!Date_Reviewed & SL & " " & rst!Quote_Notes
End If

rst.MoveNext
Loop
End If

usrNotes = Build

End Function

The error indicates either the mainform name, subform name, or both don't exist! ... could be spelling.

Is it possible one of the [blue]underscores[/blue] is in the wrong place!

We could go a number of threads before nailing names here. To try an shorten the thread and unless there's some proprietary issue ivolved ... it would greatly enhance matters if you could upload a copy of the db! You can use 4Shared for this ... [green]Its Free![/green]

Note: if your access verison is greater than 2k, convert a copy to 2k and upload that!

Code: 
[blue]Change: Set sfrm = Forms![frm_QuoteEntry1]![frmQuote_Notes].Form
To    : Set sfrm = [frmQuote_Notes].Form[/blue]
See if that helps . . .

TheAceMan1,


I tried to save it to 2k ( I am in 2007) but it will not allow me to save a copy.

I used the code above and I no longer receive the error but no notes are pulling into the email. Maybe a problem with how I am trying to pull the notes in - it is towards the middle of the code

Here is the code for the email generation:


Private Sub Command103_Click()

Click to expand...
... and I believe your referring to the line:
Code: 
[blue]'NoteDate = [frmQuote_Notes].Form![Date_reviewed][/blue]
Your still having a subform referencing problem. Try this:
[ol][li]Open the mainform in design view (you should see the subform.[/li]
[li]Click a textbox on the mainform.[/li]
[li]Call up the properties window and select the [blue]Other Tab[/blue]. At the top in the [blue]Name[/blue] property, you should see the name of the textbox you selected![/li]
[li]Now select the [blue]outline[/blue] of the subform and let me know what the [blue]Name[/blue] property reveals![/li][/ol]

See Ya! . . . . . .

That is a line I was trying to see if it would work. The line that should work starts here and it is called out below towards the middle to populate the email sa Notes


Notes = usrNotes '-- ACEMAN this is the line that should work

'NoteDate = [frmQuote_Notes].Form![Date_reviewed] '--- this is a junk line, thought I removed it




If Me.DD1149 = -1 Then
DD1149 = "Yes"
Else
DD1149 = "No"
End If

If Me.CofC = -1 Then
